Oh yes it is if you know to use it well enough. :-)

Maybe those 2 modules could be sub-classed and use the external module I've made, but I think that sub-classing will mean just a bigger effort without any benefit.

Why? Because I want to change:
- the interface used by the users ($c->stash->...)
- the structure of the configuration hash (that might allow defining more servers)
- the module that will create the message elements
- The way it will handle the templates (They will be also handled by the external program)

And this will mean changing everything.
